I ventured out to a new (to me) hide this afternoon, was after work so getting late in the day and light was fading fast.
In the hide with me were 3 chaps who were (very) clearly avid 'birders'.
And as it seems, travel around the country to tick them off their list
Anyway, as I sat quietly with the sigmonster hanging out of the hide window I heard them saying how they had missed this and missed that.... and one which everyone had missed this year was a Peregrine.
I decided the light was getting too dark for any decent pictures so I packed up and left. I kept the camera with the 100-400 attached out 'just in case'.
As I left, and no more than 2 minutes from leaving the hide, I looked up and thought that looks very 'falcon-like'!
I snapped a dozen or so shots as this bird shot across the sky above me.
only another minute after that, the guys all came out the hide, so I thought I'd have a quick word and tell them how unlucky they were....
However these guys were not convinced at all they said it's chin wasn't white enough. :shrug: They however wouldn't then tell me what they 'did' think it was.
If it is what I think, then it's the first of the year at this park :rules:
What do you guys think?
